NBA: 1st Round Matchup: Warriors vs. Clippers

[Ibleedslvrnblk]

Someone needs to bring Curry back down to earth and clothes line the er

[Benoit]

Steph is the best to ever do it

[LkrFan]

Still can’t believe Durant ran to the Warriors. What a gutless worm.

[FkLA]

this is the first time I’ve legitimately seen a team laughing and ing around in a playoff game because they already know they’re gonna win

Captain Beverly has to do the world a favor and just kill Curry or Durant, imo.

[HarlemHeat37]

Curry with 30 points on 11 shots effortless..

Durant really only matters for them against 1 or 2 teams every year, that's the worst part..

Durbeta took the "hardest road," though.

Durbeta took the "hardest road," though.

that . Like mentioned above Durant is only needed for one or two teams. I respect the clippers though for making the playoffs unlike us. Idc if it’s a sweep or not aint nobody beating these s

[HarlemHeat37]

It really looks like the Warriors signed Cousins just to give themselves an extra challenge he kills their offense..

Lakers will probably max him..

[resistanze]

Beverley needs to stfu and just slip his foot under Curry

[resistanze]

Durant tries WAAAAAY too hard. Knows he can get thrown out with a 73 win team still available.

Exactly even he knows hes not needed and can get himself thrown out of the game with no consequences to the outcome of the game...what a sad pathetic loser

[spurraider21]

Steph is such an underrated passer

I think he can have a nash-like second wind later in his career

[Ball Buster]

Patrick Beverley all pissed off. Durrant, with a big old smile on his face.

[Kobe'sAchilles]

Elian is massively overrated. They still have Durant and Klay Allen and that defense... Elian is a glorified JJ Re

Who is Elian? I'm confused.

[daslicer]

He wants to desperately convince people that he's a tough guy. Very few guys can be physically intimidating and Durant is definitely not one of them.

[UZER]

If I were opponent, I would talk about Durant’s rings during the game and to the media. I would tell media that nobody in the league respects Durant’s rings. That they win because of Curry Klay and Green, and that they won before he even got there.

Dude is such a sensitive it would definitely get in his head.

[UZER]

We got Dwight......

We’re getting Kawhi.....

We’re getting Paul George......

We’re getiing AD......

We got Lebron.....

Or Ray Allen. I suspect he's going to end up a spot up three specialist on a couple random championship teams. Either way he's going to be in the league another 10 years easy.

Don't forget to call him Mr. Unreliable and mention how he routinely collapses under pressure. 2016 against the Warriors he chokes away a 3-1 series lead before fleeing to Golden State faster than a rat flees a sinking ship. Last season when the Rockets were up 3-2, Durant was con uously quiet when they had their backs against the wall but when Chris Paul had his yearly playoff ending injury Durant showed up to play when the heat was off the team because Paul is injured and Durant coasted to a championship by piggybacking off Curry, Thompson and the others.

[spursreport]

The Warriors will win this series as expected, but things will get tougher for them in round 2. Someone is going to make them bleed again. The question will be if that team can finish the job this time around. Force the Warriors to keep taking the hits and make life for them, and they’ll implode. This is a team that capitalizes on other teams being inferior or choking and giving them new life. If they are forced to deal with real adversity and real playoff pressure where nothing is coming easy for them, they’ll implode.

[R. DeMurre]

Warriors won a game they're supposed to win, but there are definite negatives: Cousins fouled out of his first career playoff game-- against an undersized front line-- and Durant picked up 2 techs, meaning everyone will be doing their best to get him to 7 in these playoffs for a Draymond-style suspension.

[ShutUp SayItAgain!]

the Warriors

[Pentagruel]

Cousins is done most likely. Not sure if that actually hurts the warriors though.

[Fabbs]

Cousins with the low IQ overhustle play.
We'll see how f'd up his leg is (or not).

What was he trying to prove?

Just got a nice steal, nothing wrong with that. Unfortunate for him he injured himself.
